PENGEMBANGAN SISTEM INFORMASI SISWA BERBASIS WEB DENGAN DASHBOARD INTERAKTIF UNTUK MONITORING DATA AKADEMIK DI SDK WEELONDA

Oktavianus Bili, Trisno, Lidia Lali Momo
Abstract: Advances in information technology have recently been growing rapidly, especially with the increasing prevalence of the internet among an increasingly global society. In Southwest Sumba Regency, several educational institutions,… tutions, both public and private, have yet to utilize existing technology due to limited facilities and human resources. One such institution is SDK Weelonda. SDK Weelonda is an educational institution tasked with handling activities related to education, with the main goal, as is known, to educate the nation. To address the aforementioned obstacles or problems, researchers propose a web-based information system using an interactive dashboard. An interactive dashboard is a visual display that presents data and information concisely, dynamically, and easily understood. Based on these problems, the researchers are interested in providing a solution through writing a proposal entitled: Development of a Web-Based Student Information System with an Interactive Dashboard for Monitoring Academic Data at SDK Weelonda. The web-based student data information system at SDK Weelonda makes it easier for the school to manage all student and teacher data.

Climate‑driven Internal Displacement and Social Cohesion in Libya’s Coastal Cities

Alriteemi, Abraheem, Abdullah, Mahmoud, Kasheem, Majdy, Masoud, Mohieddin
Abstract: Climate change is increasingly recognized as a major driver of internal displacement, particularly in fragile states like Libya where environmental shocks intersect with political instability and weak governance. This study… udy investigates how climate-induced internal displacement affects social cohesion in Libya’s coastal cities, focusing on Tripoli, Misrata, and Benghazi. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations involving internally displaced persons (IDPs), host community members, and local stakeholders. Findings reveal that environmental factors such as drought and flooding have forced vulnerable populations to migrate from Libya’s interior regions to urban coastal centers. These displacements have strained public services, exacerbated competition for resources, and led to growing tensions between displaced populations and host communities. Social trust, mutual support, and access to services have all been undermined, while IDPs often face legal invisibility, psychological stress, and marginalization. Despite these challenges, the research identifies promising local initiatives that have fostered integration and rebuilt social ties, including joint livelihood programs and inclusive municipal governance efforts. However, these efforts remain fragmented and unsustainable without broader policy support. The study concludes that to prevent further erosion of social cohesion, Libya must adopt a national legal framework to recognize and protect climate-displaced persons, strengthen municipal capacities, and integrate displacement considerations into urban planning and climate adaptation strategies. This article contributes to emerging literature on climate migration and urban resilience by providing grounded, context-specific insights into how environmental displacement reshapes the social fabric in post-conflict settings.

Analysis of the Effect of Basic Infrastructure and Human Resources on Gross Regional Domestic Product in Indonesia in 2017-2021

Fitrahmayudi, M. Razaka, Ambya, Ambya
Abstract: Indonesia, an archipelago with a diverse and growing population of 278.69 million as of mid-2023, faces both advantages and challenges in its pursuit of becoming a developed country. The key challenge lies in the unequal… distribution of infrastructure development, especially in remote areas. Economic growth, driven by increased goods and services, is closely tied to infrastructure such as roads, electricity, and water distribution. This study analyzes the impact of these infrastructural elements and labor force participation on economic growth, measured by Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), across 34 provinces from 2017 to 2021. Using panel data regression, the results reveal that road length, electricity distribution, and clean water distribution have significant positive effects on GRDP. However, labor force participation shows an insignificant impact. Together, these variables explain 57% of GRDP growth. The findings highlight the critical role of infrastructure in economic development, with provinces like Jakarta leading the growth while regions like North Maluku lag behind. Improving infrastructure and addressing regional disparities are essential to enhancing Indonesia’s overall economic performance.

Utami Femina Sari Budiman, Angel, Elizabeth Zega, Fonny, Rizla Humairo, Alifia
Abstract: E-sport, a rapidly growing competitive field, offers promising career opportunities for many individuals. However, the intense training regimens, isolation from broader social interactions, and performance pressures can… significantly impact the life satisfaction of E-Sport athletes. This study aims to describe the life satisfaction levels among E-Sport athletes. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique. The sample consisted of 100 E-Sport athletes. The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) based on Diener's (1984) theory, comprising 26 valid items with a reliability coefficient of 0.933, was utilized as the measurement tool. Results indicate that 57% of athletes reported high life satisfaction. Specifically, 80.6% had high satisfaction with future life, whereas 60% had low satisfaction with their past life. Early adult male E-Sport athletes with incomes between 5,000,000 - 7,000,000 IDR and greater than 10,000,000 IDR, training for 16-24 hours, and participating in over 10 tournaments had higher life satisfaction. Conversely, athletes earning 3,000,000 - 5,000,000 IDR, training for 10-15 hours, and participating in fewer than eight tournaments reported lower life satisfaction.

Aprinal Syah, Anggi, Sugiarto, Arridho, Nurbaniyah, Nurbaniyah
Abstract: Salusu (1996:47) defines decision-making as the process of choosing an alternative way of acting using an efficient method according to the situation. Adolescence, derived from the Latin word "adolescens," means growing… or maturing into adulthood. This stage encompasses various dimensions, including mental, emotional, social, and physical maturity (Hurlock, 1980:206). Punk, as an ideology of rebellion and anti-establishment, encompasses diverse characteristics among its members, allowing a group to secure its identity and the unique traits of the punk community. In "Philosophy of Punk," Craig O'Hara (in Aini, 2010:26) mentions three definitions of Punk. This research aims to explore the decision-making processes and identity formation within the punk community. Utilizing a descriptive survey method with a quantitative approach, data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire. The technique of data analysis involved categorizing the respondents' answers, assigning numerical codes, and then entering them into a codebook. The findings revealed that punk community members rely on collective decision-making and shared values to reinforce their identity. This research provides valuable insights into the dynamics of adolescence and subcultural identity, contributing to a broader understanding of youth cultures.

Enhancing Micro, Small, And Medium-Sized Businesses Efficiency with Financial Literacy

Ma'sumah, Siti, Hamidi, Luthfi, Puspitarini, Ida
Abstract: Micro, small, and medium-sized businesses (MSMEs) play a big part in the economy, particularly in village economies. This is a result of the majority of rural firms still falling into the MSME category. Up until now, financial… ancial reports from MSMEs in rural areas have been infrequent. This is a result of MSME actors' ignorance regarding the preparation of financial reports. Low financial understanding translates into a low ability to produce financial reports. The MSME participants in Cilacap Regency's Sikanco Village, Nusawungu District, have not yet completed their financial reports for their companies. This is a result of their inexperience with financial report writing. Thus, it is impossible to accurately gauge the financial performance of MSMEs. As a result, help is required with both creating financial reports and raising awareness of financial literacy. This program helps with financial report preparation and raises awareness of financial literacy through the use of the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. MSME players came to the realization that financial report preparation is crucial to their firm after receiving support with it. Owners of MSME businesses become conscious of both their personal and company assets. As a result, helping to prepare MSME financial reports is crucial and beneficial for MSME participants. They make an effort to keep track of transactions and financial reports for their company, and the financial reports that have been generated are easily understandable. Residents developed an interest in and an understanding of the significance of financial reporting in order to mitigate the risk of business losses following their education. Additionally, MSME partners are growing increasingly interested in effectively managing family finances in order to improve their welfare since, through keeping track of household spending, they can identify areas where they can save more money and invest the proceeds.

Wilujeng, Ita Prihatining, Dhewi, Titis Shinta, Muhammad, Naufal Dzakwana, Paramitha, Fortuna Pradnya, Wardani, Desiana Aulia, Puspasari, Shafa' Annisa
Abstract: Amidst the growing number of tourism villages and intensifying competition among destinations, tourism village managers face the challenge of devising digital marketing strategies that are not merely informative but also… capable of sustainably building meaning, experiences, and destination competitiveness. This study aims to examine the social media-based digital marketing strategies implemented by a specific attraction within Pujon Kidul Tourism Village identifying supporting and inhibiting factors and to analyze the role of digital narratives in shaping the destination's image and competitiveness. A qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with tourism village managers (BUMDes), the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis), tourism-related MSMEs, village officials, and tourists. Data analysis was conducted thematically, utilizing source triangulation to ensure the validity of the findings. The study reveals that social media management remains reactive and unplanned, characterized by the absence of content calendars, creative direction, and performance evaluation mechanisms. Furthermore, there is a misalignment between the digital narratives used and the core identity of Cafe Sawah Pujon Kidul as a culinary destination rooted in the rural experience. Nevertheless, there are opportunities to be leveraged, such as hosting TikTok live streams which have proven effective for content collaboration with local SMEs and communities as well as the management's openness to learning and guidance.
